Madame Janauschek, with a company sub

ties say that such an elevation would
not be practicable because the deck of
the ironclad could not stand it; but
this is very slender thread of hope
to hang anything upon. The deck of
an ironclad can be made of any re-
quired strength, and the new barbette
ships which the British are building
are SO constructed as to permit the
gun to have any needed elevation.
The lotion wire guns which the
new British belted cruisers car
ry have a still greater range
than the 63-ton guns, and with
an elevation of 20 degrees could prob
ably send a 400 pound shell distance
OF ten miles. AS the point where ships
would lie off Coney Island would be
six miles from Fort Hamilton and at
least three miles from any point where
a land battery could be erected, it is
plain that the enemy sironclads, while
Smelling the navy yard and incidental
ly destroying much Of Brooklyn,
would experience no molestatiOn, I'M
less We had ships capable OF driving
them away. Such a prospect as this
is not pleasant one for the people OF
Brooklyn to contemplate, nor should
it be satisfactory to the government.
While the navy yard, situated as it is,
is liable to be destroyed, it is q source
Of danger instead of a protection to
this city. The wiser policy would seem
to be to remove it to some more secure
nosition.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
But even If this harbor should be
defended by the most powerful bat
teries, armed with long-range single
cannon, it would not follow that the
navy yard would be wholly secure
against foreign ironclad. There is g.
point near the eastern end of Coney
Island where an ironclad of thelargest
class could lie and be within only nine
miles of the navy yard. Now, the 49,
ton Krup at an elevation of As de-
grees has range of 1O.184 miles, and
at 35 degrees elevation of 9.779 miles.
The 11O-ton Armstrong has, with
an elevation of 45 degrees, a range
of 1O.331 miles and of 1929 miles
with an elevation of 35 degrees.
The new 63-ton Woodwich gun with
an elevation of 45 degrees, has arrange
of 1O.4O5 miles, and at 35 degrees
1O.OO3. At 20 degrees elevation the
same gun carries a shot eight miles.
Either of these guns with an elevation
of 35 degrees could send shot from

Rules for the Care of the Ears.

Never put anything into the ear for
the relief of toothache.
Never wear cotton in the ears if they
are discharging pus.
Never attempt to apply q poultice
Never drop anything into the ear
unless it has been previously warmed.
Never use anything but 60 syringe
and warm water for cleansing the ears
from pus.
Never strike or box q child's ears;
this has been known to rupture the
drum.head, and cause incurable deaf
ness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing; and refrain
from diving.
Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the finger if they itch. Do
not use the head of pin, hairpins,
pencil tips, or anything of that ma
ture.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp, or sit with the back toward
the window, as these things tend to
aggravate any existing hardness OF
hearing.
Never put milk, fat, or any oily sub
stance into the ear for the relief of
pain, for they soon become rancid and
tend to incite inflammation. Simple
warm water will answer the purpose
better than anything else.
Never be alarmed if a living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the canal will drown it, when it
will generally come to the surface, and
can be easily removed by the fingers.
A few puffs of tobacco smoke blown
into the ear will stupefy the insect.
Never NEEDLE with the ear if for
eign body, such as q bead, button or
seed enters it; leave it absolutely
alone; but have q physician attend
to it. More damage has been done by
iniudicious attempts at the extraction
of g foreign body than could ever
come from it's presence in the ear.

The Enfects of Menta, Exbaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount of mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the profess
sions, if arduously pursued, are no less destruc-
tive to brain and nerve tissue It is one of the
most important attributes of Hostetters Ston-
ach Bitters that it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and that it imparts new energy to
the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which
1t renews weakened mental energy and physi-
cal vitality is remarkable, and shows that it's
invigorating properties are of the highest or
der. Besides increasing vital stamina and
counteracting the effects of mental exhaUs tion

How Pale You Are

is frequently the exclamation of one lady
to another. The fact is not ia pleasant one
to have mentioned, but still the act may
be kindly one, for it sets the one adj
dressed to thinking, apprises her of the
fact that she is not in good health, and
leads her to seek reason therefor. Pallor
is almost always attendant upon the first
stages of consumption. The system is en-
feebled, and the blood is impoverished.
